Hello everybody.
I've rooted and modded the Samsung Galaxy W of my girlfriend but now i'm facing a lot of strange battery issues: the battery drains really fast and she hates it.
I've tried CM9 RC6 and SlimBean but the problem is still here. I've got no time to waste on trying 20 ROMs so i'm asking you a suggestion.
She was really excited about the stock ROM. It was fair enough for her, apart from the bloatware that couldn't be uninstalled and some random reboots and freeze.
So, i'm searching for something like that:
Great battery life
Stable and reliable ROM
Possibly CM based or AOSP
In my opinion, a CyanogenMod 7 would be great, but i can't find it for the SGW.
Could you please help me?
Thank you!

Slim-3.1.0 Ancora 12/06/12 Unoffical with standard kernel (or with Fofivo as the other user said). Noted!
I'll wait for more suggestions before wiping and flashing again. I wanna be sure this time..

Stock one is awesome and better battery life
And if you want more ram use forfivo but battery life will be less than with stock one
What about those ones?

They seems pretty basic too.
I've checked Paranoid Android and Pac-Man too but i think they've got too much stuff that i don't need and she won't use.

from those 3 links i prefer aosp..and without mods..for launcher just use nova/apex..
and for my suggestion try cm9rc7..

My honest advice:
Do not consider anything except Stock ROM with Value Pack or CM9.
Its not that those other coders are not talented. But - it's like with those small, heavily tuned / modified Honda Civics driving around: Their owner / creators and other enthusiasts love them for their custom mods, but you really could/would not give such a car to your girldfirend, mother, or whatever.
sooner or later you run into problems that will never be fixed, nothing for daily usage by a non-IT-person.
With beta 6, i guess you mean RC6?
Battery lasting, the missing fm radio and a sometimes not-100%-stable camera would be the only drawbacks i see for it.
Performance and overall fluidity is at least one class over the stock rom, really remarkable.
Maybe there will be better battery performancee with CM9 in the future, as it is not really clear atm, what causes the impacts.
But i think its unlikely that it will ever reach the Stock ROM under this aspect, as the new features are simply likely to consumer more cpu cycles then before.

CM9 RC6 was actually my first choice, because a friend of mine is using it without any problem. Anyway, i've experienced the huge battery drain even with CM9 RC6.
I can give a try to CM9 RC7 but i'm wondering: wouldn't it be better to choose a ROM with the 2.x kernel?

Yes, i meant RC6, sorry.
Sadly, battery performance is crucial for my girlfriend. Anyway, i just want a "normal" battery drain; what i'm experiencing is a very massive battery drain, totally abnormal.
Would you suggest me a Stock ROM with Value Pack? Maybe it's the better choice...
for me battery drains so fast because of to many apps..just install apps only for daily use..
yeahh i can see some of us back to 2.6..
rc7 impress me..see the ss..with stock battery(old one)..

I think the same but she's just like 20 apps, Pinterest, Instagram, GoogleReader, Dolphin, GMail, and stuff like this.
Regarding your screenshot, 17% left after 10 hours is not so great.
This is her phone now:
Can i install a 2.x kernel on CM9 RC7?
like i told you before..i use my old battery and stock 3.0kernel rc7..my battery usually last no longer than 5-6hrs..
you got 16hrs..that better than mine..
if you want 2.6 kernel i think it is better to install cm9 rc2..

5 - 6 hours? How can you use the phone? You can't even go outside for a dinner that you have to charge your phone.
Do you mean that you actively use the phone for 6 hours or what?

They're just customized CyanogenMod, and i've already have problems with CyanogenMod. If i would try CM another time, i would stick to CM9 Unofficial
Even if Queen Anne's Revenge is aimed to best battery life and it's made by an italian (as me ). It's interesting...
I think i'm gonna flash one of those modified stocks! Wish me luck!
At the end of all my tests, i've decided to keep using F.A.W. (Rls 3, from the same branch of Rls 2): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626827
It's simply a powered Samsung stock but it's rocking stable, really fast, enough good looking and with a huge battery life!
Perfect for my girlfriend!
[Q] Best Lollipop Rom for N7100 ?
Hi guys,
I'm on the Eclipse ROM by AC but I would appreciate to have Lollipop on my device.
I've seen that there's many of them but I don't know which one to choose ?
I want something stable, fast, and battery friendly.
I don't care about Spen things and Samsung stuff...
What is the best ROM to you ?
Thanks

Okay thanks I'll try that today
On this ROM battery stays only for 20 hours for me. I was under the impression that cm based ROMs deliver more...
How's the backup with other people here? Pls share

As a former Eclipse user, I have to say the CM12.1 port from @Ivan_Meler (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/orig-development/cyanogenmod-12-alpha-1-n7100-t2949644) with a splash of the S6 Theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wsdeveloper.galaxy). Absolute pant-wettingly perfect combination. Stable as a rock.
orion lp
Hi there,
I've been using the orion lp 5.1.1 for the last couple of days and I'm loving it... http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/development-n7105/rom-orionlp-rom-t0ltev1-2-t3161098
I was using the Unicorns http://galaxynote2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-note-2-roms/dirty-unicorns-rom-for-galaxy-note-2-android-5-1-1/ but it had some bugs, but very fast...
Hello!
I've repaired this phone for a friend of mine, but refuse to let her use it further with the stock OS messing up her phone's battery life.
So, I went ahead and installed CM 12.1, however, it isn't really performing that well. And I've read around on the net that it causes battery drain, openGapps also doesn't seem to be playing nicely together with it.
Either way, my question is. Which version of Cyanogenmod should I be using to let this phone reach its true performance and battery life? I'm also open for other ROM suggestions besides CM, though I'm most familiar with it.
Thanks a lot guys!
I recomend try Ressurection Remix 5.7.4 build 20161009
I use it now and it configurable, perfectly smooth, and also battery friendly ROM

Thanks for the tip! Checking it out for sure. Though isn't CM 10 a good choice as well?

After CM 12.1-13 I can't use cm 10-11, it looks laggy for me, in comparison.

Lag isn't really the issue, it's more about which ROM will het me the best battery life in the end. Preferably CM.

Do you guys think that this lineage rom is truly better than stock rom according to battery ? I am considering unlocking OEM and i think that battery life is the biggest advantage of that phone. Could you send me scr with battery stats ?

Are you kidding the stock rom is full of bugs and bad battery life i barley got 11 hours on s251 but if i were you I'd wait for a stable oreo build to flash instead of nought

I am trying all available roms. Till I am not satisfied with the smoothness which I had on my last phone (VIOLET). Still searching. So far, Evolution X seems a better deal to me.

I tried lots of them and Im now running Paranoid Android (just installed it today) And it works great!
I was on MIUI 12 before but I wanted stock android so I chose this ROM
For now its working as expected, however you need to account for screen burn (image retention) and have an unlocked bootloader with TWRP or any custom recovery installed.
All cams work and I find it really smooth and usable for daily usage.

I was previously using Pixel Experience and it was Great! but the battery lasted a little less than on MIUI, the portrait camera didn't work and when recording videos they were corrupted and ended up "lasting 33 hrs" with the video frozen and just the audio working.
I'm currently using Paranoid Android and i haven't noticed any bug or problem :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
which rom support for quick charge?
